Equally infamous: October 2, 1960. But we didn't know, or even guess, as Calvin Griffith was telling everyone he was almost agreed with the Interior Department on the rent for the new DC Stadium...while he was secretly persuading his brother-in-law, Joe Cronin, and other AL owners to let him move to Minneapolis.

Consider the tearing at our guts as the core of that 1960 team went to the World Series in 1965.

(It is a pleasure to see that Minneapolis / Saint Paul make the Twins a small market team. Nearly contracted by MLB.
